[@jonharper82]

This was the most incredible view of a static fire I have ever seen. The sheets of ice getting pulled into the flames and just disappearing. Wow. 😮

[@MJ-zo5gb]

Yes! The lack of smoke from these types of engines really let you see the flames and engine nozzles.

How does that happen? Where do those sheets come from and why do they get up in the air?

[@aaronscottmatthews7883]

The exhaust is so clean I'll never forget what the light coming from those engine bells looked like in person - it looked like someone was shining a light blue laser at me

[@1247.cccccc]

That is always interesting to hear the differences between video and in-person viewing.

@@1247.cccccc you can see it in video too, you have to look straight down the throat into the combustion chamber, which is a brilliant bluish white

FACTS

[@okirooju3787]

This is the ship, 9 engines - 6 sea level and 3 vacuum optimized. Booster has 33 engines and was fired about a week ago. EDIT: This iteration of the ship has 6 engines, 3 of each type. The goal is to have 9 in total.

[@clevergirl4457]

[@Sonnell]

[@LordFalconsword]

That is absolutely astounding to watch!!

[@JobberSteve]

Absolutely breathtaking, thank you Launch Pad!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Look how clean and consistent the exhaust is once it's all stable, and how fast it stabilises on ignition, video is three and half minutes long, from a 4 to 8 second burn, so the frame rate is somewhere around 1600 frames per second if the burn was 8 seconds,.... translating to the Raptor going from Off to started, running, throttled up in well under a second. Having the exhaust stabilise that fast, is phenominal.

[@DreamskyDance]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Its like you are not watching a rocket engines static fire, something that is extremely hard to make and has million of things that can go not just right and is always kinda experimental and will have slight inconsistencies and disturbances, but like you are watching a well tried and tested factory process that just does its thing ( like those steel mills and such, where the giant machine does its thing properly for decades ).

[@iuliandragomir1]

OMG. So much power! Amazing!

[@utknoxvols]

That is a spectacular view.

[@yourbrojohno]

Crazy how due to the ridiculous chamber pressures, spacex can operate their vacuum optimized engines at sea level without the nozzles imploding.

[@konkam744]

I think for ground tests, they put a ring around the engine for structural support, they wanna collapse pretty badly if you see how the exhaust implodes after leaving the nozzles

[@darkfur18]

@@konkam744 they compromised with a smaller expansion ratio and a reinforced bell

[@konkam744]

@@darkfur18 but only for the ground tests, on the flight that would be useless and would just make the rocket heavier and less efficient

[@darkfur18]

@@konkam744 No, there is no real loss of efficiency, the vacuum Raptor nozzles are already at the maximum size as dictated by the diameter of the rocket, only a little bit of extra weight is required to sufficiently reinforce the nozzles

[@justin.w.06]

​@darkfur18 this doesnt add up. Why reinforce an engine for ground test conditions when the vacuum engines wont fire anywhere near sea level?

[@jonmarquez128]

[@johntheux9238]

This single handedly convinced me that they need this type of deluge system on the orbital pad.

[@chrisantoniou4366]

And it's only the Starship! The booster will eventually have 35 Raptor 3 engines for Stage Zero to contend with...

[@DougAlft]

You mean a flame trench?

[@johntheux9238]

@@DougAlft Yes, you can't see anything with the 360° one, there is clouds everywhere.

[@Cobson_GamingYT]

Yeah they're gonna build one for the second tower and once thats up and running probably add the same to the first.

[@DreamskyDance]

@@Cobson_GamingYT Didnt knew that they planned add the trench to the first afterwards. But i thought they are so confident in testing booster landing on fifth flight because even if the tower gets wrecked, it is built in so many ways of wrong, that they learned in subsequent test flights, that for getting it better, like second tower will be, they would need it all but tear it down. If they will build the flame trench, the launch mount has to go, the arm for fueling the ship on the tower is not right at all, which is evident by repairs after every launch, probably the installations on the tower could be better, because they do it differently on tower two...etc

[@raghknarrscott1790]

At this point I'll not surprised if spaceX puts camara inside engine

[@DougAlft]

This view is possible due to the new flame trench at the Massey site. There won't be a view like this of the booster unless they schlep them out to Massey. Or, if they put a flame trench on the launch towers.

[@DragsterJeffCrider]

Camera men are fireproof.

[@nlo114]

The combustion exhaust-stream is crystal clear as it exits the chamber. Why does the periphery become yellow just downstream of the first shock-cone?

[@kastrooutlaw]

this beeing a 5 sec static fire is insane...i thought this was the long duration raptor test

[@dsdy1205]

wow, I never knew they were confident enough to run the RVacs during static fire, that bodes rather well for abort capability

[@leo_is_a_baka]

They have stiffener rings on the engines during the static fires.

Starts from 0:01 ends at 0:20 that is called Flow Separation it separates from the wall of the rocket bell but at 0:20 it fixes it self Flow Separation is not good to have

[@kobusdowney5291]

I was scrolling down for this exact comment🎉 My guess is the expansion ration is reduced enough to maintain laminar flow along the engine bell. Also notice the stiffener rings on the ends of the engine bells.

[@tamaldatta8520]

ig expansion ratio has been reduced

[@Skillbiscutt]

But no shut down..... bummer.

[@brucerostowfske6096]

Why yellow flame around vacuum engines?

[@JimBoIndy]

Because they are Firing in Atmosphere 😊

[@snakevenom4954]

To help cool the engine they spray extra methane on the inside. This methane is shot through nozzle at high speeds and breaks down into hydrogen and carbon. The yellow exhaust is the carbon burning with oxygen in the atmosphere.
